TITLE OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Impulse Torque Generator for A Hydraulic Power Wrench

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to an impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench, more specifically an impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench, which is highly durable, compact in size and capable of stably generating a large impulse torque.

[0003] Conventionally, hydraulic torque wrenches using hydraulic impulse torque generator with little noise and vibrations have been developed and put to practical use.

[0004] For example, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show an example of such hydraulic torque wrench, and this impulse torque generator of a hydraulic torque wrench W is realized in a way to charge a hydraulic oil in the liner chamber La formed in the liner L, provide a blade insertion groove in the main shaft S inserted coaxially with the liner L, insert a blade B in this blade insertion groove, put this blade B in contact with the inner circumferential face of the liner chamber La by constantly urging it in the outer circumferential direction of the shaft with a spring, and form a sealed face on the outer circumferential face of the shaft S and the inner circumferential face of the liner chamber La.

[0005] And, it is so arranged that, by turning the liner L with an air motor R, an impulse torque is produced on the main shaft S, when the sealed face formed on the inner circumferential face of the liner chamber La, the sealed face formed on the outer circumferential face of the shaft S and the blade B agreed with each other.

[0006] By the way, in the case of a conventional impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench W, a construction is adopted in which a blade insertion groove is provided on the shaft S, a blade B is inserted in this blade insertion groove, and this blade B is constantly urged in the outer circumferential direction of the shaft with a spring, to be put in contact with the inner circumferential face of the liner L. For that reason, the tip of the blade B comes in sliding contact with the inner circumferential face of the liner L, causing easy wear of the material on both sides and thus presenting a problem about durability of the system including breakdown of the spring, etc.

[0007] Moreover, another problem was that, because of the necessity of providing a blade insertion groove and a hole in which to insert a spring in the main shaft S, it is necessary to secure a large diameter of the main shaft S, to maintain the strength of the shaft S, and this further increases the size of the equipment itself and complicates the equipment structure.

[0008] Furthermore, still another problem was that, there was a large energy loss because the operating fluid is liable to leak through the gap between members such as sliding portions, etc., in addition to the sliding resistance between the tip of the blade B and the inner circumferential face of the liner L. Yet another problem was that the temperature of the operating fluid rises with a frictional heat produced with sliding, causing fluctuations in the strength of impact torque produced with changes in viscosity of the operating fluid.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] In view of the problems of said conventional impulse torque generators for hydraulic torque wrenches, the objective of the present invention is to provide an impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench, which is durable, compact in size and capable of stably generating a large impulse torque, by eliminating the blade inserted into the main shaft, which was conventionally essential with this type of impulse torque generators for hydraulic torque wrenches.

[0010] To achieve said objective, the impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench according to the present invention is characterized in that it is comprised of a main shaft,

[0011] a cam inserted into said main shaft slidably in an axial direction without turning against the main shaft and forming oil guide holes passing inside in an axial direction,

[0012] a cylinder storing the base end of said main shaft and cam, forming oil chambers to be filled with an operating fluid across said cam,

[0013] pins inserted into the cam groove of said cam, provided in a projecting manner on the inner circumferential face of said cylinder,

[0014] a drive shaft to be connected to the drive source which drives said cylinder in a rotating fashion, and

[0015] a check valve that shuts off the circulation of the operating fluid between the oil chambers formed across the cam, by selectively closing the oil guide holes formed in said cam depending on the relative rotating angle between said cam and cylinder.

[0016] This impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench can slide the cam, in which is inserted the pin provided in a projecting manner on the inner circumferential face of said cylinder, freely in the axial direction without turning against the main shaft, in a state in which the oil guide hole formed in the cam is open, by driving the cylinder through the drive shaft connected to the drive source in a rotating manner, and in this state, no impulse torque is produced because there are no restrictions on the cylinder and the cam.

[0017] Moreover, as the cylinder is further driven to continue turning, the oil guide hole formed in the cam is closed by the check valve, depending on the relative rotating angle between said can and cylinder, and the circulation of the operating fluid between the oil chambers formed across the cam is shut off. If, in this state, an attempt is made to slide the cam in the axial direction by further rotated driving of the cylinder, the pressure in the oil chamber placed in the direction in which the cam slides rises, and the pressure in the oil chamber located in the opposite direction, drops.

[0018] At that time, the pins provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder are put in strong contact with the side face on the high-pressure oil chamber side of the cam grooves formed on the outer circumferential face of the cam, and since the sliding of the cam is prevented by shutting off the circulation of the operating fluid between the oil chambers formed across the cam, a large frictional force is produced between the side face of the cam grooves and the pins, restricting the cylinder and the cam.

[0019] This makes it possible to produce an impulse torque on the main shaft inserted into the cam, by transmitting a rotational driving force from the cylinder to the cam through the pins.

[0020] Also, this impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench can improve the system's durability, by eliminating the blade inserted in the main shaft, which was conventionally essential with this type of impulse torque generator for hydraulic torque wrenches, and also because of the absence of any other easily broken parts.

[0021] Moreover, since there is no need to provide any blade insertion groove or hole in which to insert the spring in the main shaft, it becomes possible to keep the diameter of the main shaft at the minimum required level and form the system itself in a compact size, and to also simplify the equipment structure, reducing the manufacturing costs of the system.

[0022] Furthermore, thanks to the small working resistance of the system and small leakage of operating fluid through the gap between members, there is only a small loss of energy, and because of the reduced temperature increase of the operating fluid due to frictional heat, little fluctuations are produced in the magnitude of the impulse torque produced as a result of changes in the viscosity of the operating fluid. For those reasons, it becomes possible to stably produce a large impulse torque.

[0023] Therefore, it is possible to form a plurality of cam grooves on the outer circumferential face of said cam, and provide in a projecting manner a plurality of pins to be inserted in said respective cam grooves in such a way to have uniform angle intervals.

[0024] This makes it possible to transmit a rotational driving force from the cylinder to the cam through the pin, and produce a more stable impulse torque.

[0025] Furthermore, it is also possible for said check valve to close the oil guide hole formed in said cam, each time when the said cam and cylinder turn 360°, so as to shut off the circulation of the operating fluid between the oil chambers formed across said cam.

[0026] This makes it possible to produce large impulse torque by utilizing the inertia of the cylinder, each time the cam and cylinder turn by 360°.

[0027] Yet more, it is possible to form, in said cylinder, an oil guide channel connected between the oil chambers formed across said cam, and to dispose of an output adjusting mechanism for adjusting the magnitude of the impulse torque produced by limiting the flow rate of the operating fluid circulating through said oil guide channel.

[0028] This makes it possible to easily control the magnitude of the impulse torque produced, by limiting the flow rate of the operating fluid circulating through the oil guide channel, formed in the cylinder, connected between the oil chambers formed across the cam.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0036] An embodiment of the impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench according to the present invention will be explained below based on drawings.

[0037]FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 show an embodiment of the impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench according to the present invention.

[0038] This impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench, which uses an air motor as drive source, in the same way as a conventional hydraulic torque wrench as indicated in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, is composed of a main shaft 3, a cam 4, fit on this main shaft 3 slidably in axial direction without turning against the main shaft 3 and forming cam grooves 41 a, 41 b on the outer circumferential face and also forming oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b passing in axial direction inside, a cylinder C storing the base end of the main shaft 3 and the cam 4, and forming oil chambers A, B to be filled with a operating fluid across the cam 4, pins 81, 82 fit in the cam grooves 41 a, 41 b of the cam 4, provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder C, a drive shaft 23 to be connected to the drive source (not illustrated) which rotatively drives the cylinder C, and a check valve 5 shutting off the circulation of operating fluid between the oil chambers A, B formed across the cam 4, by selectively closing the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed in the cam 4 depending on the relative rotating angle between the cam 4 and the cylinder C.

[0039] In this case, the cylinder C is composed, as shown in FIG. 1, of an outer casing 1 constituting the end face wall 11 and the cylinder unit 12 on one side, an inner casing 2 fit to this outer casing 1 and constituting the end face wall 21, the cylinder 22 and the drive shaft 23 on the other side, and a fixing member 9 for fixing the inner casing 2 fit to the outer casing 1 and integrating the two, by screwing them to the open end of the cylinder unit 12 of the outer casing 1.

[0040] Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the main shaft 3, the base end of which is to be stored in the cylinder C, supports the base end 31 a, through a ball bearing 24 a, in the bearing hole 24 formed in the end face wall 21 of the inner casing 2 and, to fit the cam 4 on the main shaft 3 slidably in the axial direction without turning, forms the section of the shaft 31 in this part in polygonal shape or in the shape of a spline, etc. (hexagonal shape in this embodiment), for example, and further forms at its tip side a collar 33 for protection against falling, so that the tip side may extend by passing through the end face wall 11 of the outer casing 1.

[0041] The cam 4 fit on the main shaft 3 in a way to slide in the axial direction without turning will have, to be fit on the main shaft 3 slidably in the axial direction without turning, the section of the hole 43 in this part formed in a hexagonal shape, for example, adapted to the main shaft 3, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.

[0042] Furthermore, the cam grooves 41 a, 41 b formed on the outer circumferential face of the cam 4 are formed in an annular spiral shape, for example, so that the cam 4 may slide in the axial direction without turning against the main shaft 3, with an action of the pins 81, 82, provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder portion 22 of the inner casing 2 of the cylinder C fit in the cam grooves 41 a, 41 b, when the cylinder C is driven to turn through the drive shaft 23 connected to a driving source.

[0043] By the way, while 2 cam groovest 41 a, 41 b are formed in this embodiment, the number of the cam grooves is not limited to it, and may also be one or a plural number of 3 or over.

[0044] And, in the case where a plurality of cam grooves 41 a, 41 b are formed as in this embodiment, the pins 81, 82, provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder portion 22 of the inner casing 2 of the cylinder C will be provided in projection at uniform angle intervals (180° in this embodiment).

[0045] As described above, by providing a plurality of cam grooves 41 a, 41 b and pins 81, 82, it becomes possible to smoothly transmit a large rotational driving force from the cylinder C to the cam 4 through the pins 81, 82, and stably produce an impulse torque on the main shaft 3 on which is fit the cam 4.

[0046] Still more, the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b passing in axial direction inside the cam 4 are composed of 2 through holes, in this embodiment, though not particularly limited to this construction, so that it may have a sufficient capacity for enabling smooth circulation of operating fluid between the oil chambers A, B formed across the cam 4, when the cam 4 slides in the axial direction without turning against the main shaft 3.

[0047] The check valve 5 shutting off the circulation of operating fluid between the oil chambers A, B formed across the cam 4, by selectively closing the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed in the cam 4 depending on the relative rotating angle between the cam 4 and the cylinder C, is disposed in the oil chamber on one side A, in a way to be, always, urged by the spring 6 so that it gets in contact with one end face of the cam 4, and turns by following the cylinder C.

[0048] The check valve 5 is composed, as shown in FIG. 4, of a disc-shaped body 51 to be put in contact with one end face of the cam 4, and an annular portion 53 along the inner circumferential face of the cylinder portion 22 of the inner casing 2 of the cylinder C.

[0049] And, on the body 51 are formed curved slits 52 a, 52 b allowing circulation of operating fluid between the oil chambers A, B in communication with the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed in the cam 4, and it is so arranged that the portions not forming any hole between the slits 52 a, 52 b close the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b.

[0050] The position and the number of those slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the body 51 determine the number and the magnitude of the impulse torques produced while the cam 4 and the cylinder C relatively turn by 360°.

[0051] And, by forming the slits 52 a, 52 b at the position indicated in this embodiment, it becomes possible for the check valve 5 to close the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed in the cam 4, and shut off the circulation of operating fluid between the oil chambers A, B formed across the cam 4, each time when the cam 4 and the cylinder C relatively turn by 360°, thus producing a large impulse torque by utilizing inertia of the cylinder C, each time when the cam 4 and the cylinder C relatively turn by 360°.

[0052] Yet more, in the cylinder portion 12 of the outer casing 1 and the cylinder portion 22 of the inner casing 2 of the cylinder C are formed oil guide channels 15, 25 connecting between the oil chambers A, B formed across the cam 4, and is disposed an output adjusting mechanism 13 capable of adjusting the magnitude of the impulse torque produced, by limiting the flow rate of the operating fluid circulating through the oil guide channels 15, 25, by screwing to the end face wall 11 of the outer casing 1, for example.

[0053] This makes it possible to easily adjust the magnitude of the impulse torque produced, by limiting the flow rate of the operating fluid circulating through the oil guide channel 25, connecting between the oil chambers A, B across the cam 4 on the cylinder C, with an adjustment of the output adjusting mechanism 13. To be concrete, by adjusting the output adjusting mechanism 13, it is possible to arrange in such a way that the smaller the flow rate of the operating fluid circulating through the oil guide channel 25, the larger the magnitude of the impulse torque produced and, conversely, the larger the flow rate of the operating fluid circulating through the oil guide channel 25, the smaller the magnitude of the impulse torque produced.

[0054] Moreover, in the annular portion 53 is formed a slit 55 in which to insert the pin 54 provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder portion 22 of the inner casing 2 of the cylinder C, to thereby enable the check valve 5 to turn following the cylinder C, and slide following the cam 4 while getting in contact with one end face of the cam 4.

[0055] Furthermore, on the end face wall 11 of the outer casing 1 will be disposed a plug 14, by screwing, etc. for injecting operating fluid into the oil chambers A, B.

[0056] Still more, between the outer casing 1 and the inner casing 2, between the outer casing 11 of the cylinder C and the main shaft 3, and at the position of the output adjusting mechanism 13, the plug 14, etc. will be disposed sealing members 71, 72, 73, 74 such as O rings, etc. for protection against leak of operating fluid.

[0057] Actions of this impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench will be explained hereafter, based on FIG. 5.

[0058] In the first place, the cylinder C is rotatively driven (right turn as seen from drive shaft 23 side) through the drive shaft 23 connected to an air motor which is a drive source.

[0059] As the cylinder C is rotatively driven, the inside of the impulse torque generator changes as FIG. 5 (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (5) → (6) → (1) . . . in FIG. 5.

[0060]FIG. 5 (1) indicates a state in which no impulse torque is produced on the main shaft 3, and the state where the cylinder C and the cam 4 relatively turn by 60° (with reference to cam 4) in order is indicated in FIG. 5 (2), (3) (state in which an impulse torque is produced on the main shaft 3), (4), (5), (6).

[0061] Firstly, in the state in which the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed on the cam 4 and the slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the check valve 5 are in communication with each other, as shown in FIG. 5 (1), circulation of operating fluid between the oil chambers A, B is allowed, and this makes it possible to slide the cam 4, on which are fit the pins 81, 82, provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder C, freely in the axial direction without turning against the main shaft 3 (the cam 4 slides from right to left, as seen from the front face (in FIG. 1), and the operating fluid flows from oil chamber B to oil chamber A). In this state, no impulse torque is produced because there is no restriction on the cylinder C and the cam 4.

[0062] If, from this state, the cylinder C is further rotatively driven, a change of state takes place, through the state in which the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed on the cam 4 and the slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the check valve 5 are in communication with each other, as shown in FIG. 5 (2), (the same state as that in FIG. 5 (1) without production of impulse torque, although the cam 4 slides from right to left, as seen from the front face (in FIG. 1), and the operating fluid flows from oil chamber A to oil chamber B), to a state in which the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed on the cam 4 and the slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the check valve 5 are not in communication with each other, as shown in FIG. 5 (3).

[0063] In the state indicated in this FIG. 5 (3), since the cam 4 slides from left to right, as seen from the front face (in FIG. 1), the pressure rises in the oil chamber A found in the sliding direction and drops in the oil chamber B found in the opposite direction.

[0064] And, in the case where the circulation of operating fluid from high-pressure oil chamber A to low-pressure oil chamber B is shut off and that, in this state, the cylinder C is rotatively driven to slide the cam 4 in the axial direction, the pressure further rises in the oil chamber A and becomes still lower in the oil chamber B.

[0065] At that time, the pins 81, 82 provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder C are strongly put in contact with the side face on the high-pressure oil chamber A side of the cam grooves 41 a, 41 b formed on the outer circumferential face of the cam 4 and, since the sliding of the cam 4 is prevented with shutting off of the circulation of operating fluid from highpressure oil chamber A to low-pressure oil chamber B, a large frictional force is produced between the side face of the cam grooves 41 a, 41 b and the pins 81, 82, restricting the cylinder C and the cam 4.

[0066] This makes it possible to produce an impulse torque on the main shaft 3 inserted in the cam 4, by transmitting a rotational driving force from the cylinder C to the cam 4 through the pins 81, 82.

[0067] If, from this state, the cylinder C is further rotatively driven, a change of state takes place, again, through the state in which the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed on the cam 4 and the slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the check valve 5 are in communication with each other, as shown in FIG. 5 (4) and FIG. 5 (5), (the same state as that in FIG. 5 (1) without production of impulse torque, although, in FIG. 5 (4), the cam 4 slides from left to right, as seen from the front face (in FIG. 1), and the operating fluid flows from oil chamber A to oil chamber B, while in FIG. 5 (5) the cam 4 slides from right to left, as seen from the front face (in FIG. 1) and the operating fluid flows from oil chamber B to oil chamber A), to a state in which the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed on the cam 4 and the slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the check valve 5 are not in communication with each other, as shown in FIG. 5 (6).

[0068] In the state indicated in this FIG. 5 (6), since the cam 4 slides from left to right, as seen from the front face (in FIG. 1), the pressure rises in the oil chamber B found in the sliding direction and drops in the oil chamber A found in the opposite direction.

[0069] However, unlike the case of the state indicated in FIG. 5 (3), when the pressure in the oil chamber B gets high, the hydraulic pressure of the operating fluid in the oil chamber B acts on the check valve 5, through the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed on the cam 4, and makes the check valve 5, which was in contact with one end face of the cam 4, retreat, against the urging force of the spring 6, to allow flowing of operating fluid from the high-pressure oil chamber B to the low-pressure oil chamber A. This makes it possible for the cam 4, on which are fit the pins 81, 82 provided in projection on the inner circumferential face of the cylinder C, to slide freely in the axial direction without turning against the main shaft 3, and no impulse torque is produced because there is no restriction on the cylinder C and the cam 4.

[0070] If, from this state, the cylinder C is further rotatively driven, a change of state takes place, again, to the state in which the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed on the cam 4 and the slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the check valve 5 are in communication with each other, as shown in FIG. 5.(1), (state without production of impulse torque).

[0071] As described above, according to the impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench, it becomes possible for the check valve 5 to close the oil guide holes 42 a, 42 b formed in the cam 4, and shut off the circulation of operating fluid between the oil chambers A, B formed across the cam 4, each time when, substantially, the cam 4 and the cylinder C relatively turn by 360°, thus producing a large impulse torque by utilizing inertia of the cylinder C, each time when, substantially, the cam 4 and the cylinder C relatively turn by 360°.

[0072] In the case where the air motor which is a drive source is turned in the opposite direction (left turn as seen from drive shaft 23 side), the inside of the impulse torque generator changes as FIG. 5 (1) → (6) → (5) → (4) → (3) → (2) → (1) . . . in FIG. 5.

[0073] And, in this case, when the state of FIG. 5 (6) is produced, it becomes possible to produce an impulse torque in the direction opposite to above on the main shaft 3.

[0074] The impulse torque generator for a hydraulic torque wrench according to the present invention has so far been explained based on an embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the construction described in the above embodiment, but may also be constructed in a way to produce impulse torque a plural number of times while the cam 4 and the cylinder C relatively turn by 360, by changing the position and the number of the slits 52 a, 52 b formed on the main body 51, for example, or may be changed in construction as required in the range not deviated from its purpose, as using an electric motor, etc. in addition to the air motor, as drive source.
